🦟 Mosquito season is back on the West Plains — and in Airway Heights, WA, June is the surge month.

Irrigation kicks in, nighttime lows climb above 50°F, and Culex tarsalis mosquitoes — the primary West Nile Virus vector in Eastern Washington — start hitting full reproductive speed. A property that was quiet in May can be producing thousands of adult mosquitoes by the end of June.

A few moves this weekend will save you months of bites:

✅ Walk the yard and dump every spot of standing water sitting more than 3 days
✅ Drill drainage holes in plant saucers and clean out the gutters
✅ Drop Bti larvicide briquettes ("mosquito dunks") in anything you can't drain
✅ Use an EPA-registered repellent — DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
✅ Treat outdoor clothing with 0.5% permethrin for multi-wash protection

We put together a full guide on West Nile Virus risk in Airway Heights — why June is peak season, where local mosquitoes breed, when professional treatment makes sense, and how to lock down your yard for the summer.

🐭 Seeing mice in your Dalton Gardens, ID shed or garage this spring? You're not imagining it.

The mice and rats that overwintered in attics, crawl spaces, and outbuildings don't leave when the weather warms — they breed. A house mouse produces a litter every three weeks once conditions are right, and a single pair can produce dozens of descendants in a season. Late spring is when those hidden populations produce their first visible droppings, gnaw marks, and daylight sightings.

A few moves now prevent a much bigger problem in summer:

✅ Seal every exterior gap larger than a quarter inch (foundation, dryer vents, garage door sweeps, crawl space vents)
✅ Move pet food, birdseed, and livestock feed into hard-sided containers
✅ Keep firewood, lumber, and yard debris 20 feet from the house and elevated
✅ Install tight door sweeps on sheds and outbuildings
✅ Schedule a professional spring inspection to interrupt the breeding cycle

We put together a complete guide on late-spring rodent activity in Dalton Gardens — deer mouse vs. house mouse vs. Norway rat, hantavirus precautions, the warning signs most homeowners miss, and why DIY traps rarely solve a recurring infestation.
